Unca Joe's Legacy?

The discovery of 20 sets of bones in a forest outside St. Petersburg, Russia may be part of a vast burial ground containing as many as 30,000 victims of Josef Stalin's Great Terror during the 1930s. All the skulls unearthed reportedly had similar holes, which coincides with the preferred NKVD method of killing: a bullet in the back of the head. Even if it turns out to be a mass grave, the site near Toksovo is just the tip of the iceberg. Stalin dealt in millions, not thousands.
